Thirty Cabins
"Like a little house in the woods, each [story] is a quirky marvel of engineering."
— Ron Charles, former Washington Post book critic
"Thirty Cabins is alternately charming and creepy, witty and sad, as diverse as the buildings that inspired it. What’s most striking, though, is how quickly these writers can create a scene, a collection of characters, a mood. In the cramped space of just two or three pages, they conjure up whole worlds.

Thirty Cabins brings together some of contemporary fiction's brightest voices to reimagine a century-old book of vacation cabin blueprints. Inside, you'll find 30 vacation cabins, each with its own short story. Plus a comic!
Volume 1 was published in September 2026, and Volume 2 will be published in Spring 2027. For Volume 2, I asked the writers from Volume 1 to choose a new writer to “inherit” their cabins.
Contributors to the series include Hilary Leichter, Ed Park, Rachel Khong, Kate Folk, Jeff VanderMeer, Erin Somers, Victor Lodato, Nora Lange, Henry Hoke, Sophie Kemp, and more.
